I am using the search => replace function.
In the field "find what", I have @
In the field "replace with", I have a blank space
When I click replace all, I get the error message Cannot find regular expression '@'
Could someone advise how to get around this? I also get the same message when I search for other characters such as # , &
Thank you

Make sure you are not double clicking to Replace All.
The first click will replace all of the @, and the second one will return the message you describe if you have check in the Regular Expressions box.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob

Also, if you do have a simple replace which does not use a regular expression, un-check the "Regular Expression" checkbox.
